Frequently Asked Questions

It's functional, but don't expect premium preamp quality; it's adequate for simple amplification, but may sound a little muddy compared to higher-end models.
The fretwork is acceptable for the price point, but some players might find them slightly less polished; a quick trip to a tech for a leveling and crowning could improve playability.
The neck profile is a standard 'C' shape, which is generally comfortable, but it's on the thinner side, so those with very large hands might find it a bit cramped.
